Mater - A simple menubar Pomodoro app

by•

Mater is a very simple menubar Pomodoro app. It's written in Electron and there are binaries for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

I've used a bunch of Pomodoro apps in the past and never found found one that hit the sweet spot for simplicity and nice design. When I found myself wanting to learn Electron, I decided to scratch both itches at the same time!

Cool design! Electron app is a buzz-killer for me. How much memory does it tend to consume?
same question
Just saw its answered in another comment. 250+ MB woops!
Oh . bad . 🙃
I usually use TomatoTimer when I'm doing pomodoros but looking forward to trying this out - the simple design and color scheme is really appealing.
Is TomatoTimer a Mac menu app?
Yes it is, I'm on the free version. Just checked and its actually called "BeFocused"
Thank you. I'm using it already :)
This is great - but 250+ mb for a timer? Blimey.
I'm guessing used react-starter and didn't even bundle the js/css. Using electron with vanilla Js would get u down to 40mb, and that's still too much for a small timer app..

There's no React, just vanilla JS. I'm not sure how much I can do to get the size down, but will look into it.
well I didn't even download it, but there's no reason an electron app like this should be over 200mb. You're probably bundling something that you don't need to
Yep Gilly is right. You are bundling something more. It must be around 50MB for this small app. Edit: Just saw the releases page. The app is small around 53MB. Its 250MB for memory I guess.
Hey , What made you want to build this? Tell us a little more!

Heya , I updated the description with a little more info :)
love the simplicity
